  • And on that note, I condemn in the harshest terms the response from communities like /r/linux on the subject. The vile harassment and hate directed at the FDO officer in question is obscene and completely unjustifiable. I don’t care what window manager or desktop environment you use – this kind of behavior is completely uncalled for. I expect better.

    Oh wow. That community is just hateful

    Ever since the Reddit exodus, so many people joined Lemmy who just assumes everyone lives in the US.

    “My rent is only $----/mo”. In what currency? A lot of countries use $.

    I noticed that sometimes comments asking “What currency?” or “What country?” gets downvoted even though the original post / comment isn’t obvious that they are talking specifically about US :(





  • I’m all for smart appliances, but a smart washing machine is a solution in search of a problem.

    I personally love smart washers, they are a solution to the problem that we used to have at home.

    We have 5 adults at home. The app lets us know if it’s being used or not, and lets us know how much longer left.

    Also let’s us remind the other person to move their stuff in the washer to the dryer.

    I personally do not want to walk over to our laundry room in the garage not connected to our house to check each time to see if it’s available, then walk back to my room to grab my laundry, then bring it to the laundry room

    I would prefer if everything was able to be used on a local network instead though. Like a Samsung machine that hosts a local server where data never leaves the home and still works.

    I absolutely love Libro.fm. People can choose a local physical store for Libro to donate to.

    How much do Libro.fm Affiliates earn?

    Our affiliate program offers a 10% commission on each audiobook and credit bundle, and a 30% one-time commission on each new monthly membership. Commission is earned on each qualifying sale (excluding tax, returns, and cancellations).

    Their customer service is phenomenal. Multiple times, there were some audiobooks that they did not have on their website that I wanted, so I sent them an email asking if they might be able to obtain them. They reached out to the distributors and got them on their store for me to buy in less than a week each time!
